With a title like “Unorthodox Jukebox,” you get a pretty good idea of what Bruno Mars is up to on his second album, the follow-up to 2010’s platinum “Doo-Wops & Hooligans.” Much like his recent episode-stealing Pandora sketch on “Saturday Night Live,” Mars is unapologetically all over the map on these 10 tracks, leapfrogging styles like a hyperactive toddler digging through a toy box. Working with a committee of producers — including the Smeezingtons, Mark Ronson, Jeff Bhasker, Diplo and Ann Arbor’s Emile Haynie — Mars delivers kinetic New Wave on the first single, “Locked Out of Heaven,” sleazy strip club funk on “Money Make Her Smile” and “Treasure,” tribal urgency on “Young Girls,” dubby reggae on “Show Me” and shimmering, melodic polish for “Moonshine.” Mars is just as effective accompanied only by piano on “When I Was Your Man” as he is stirring together genres on the audaciously tricked-out “Gorilla” — the kind of track Prince would be proud to have in his quiver — and if you want a real sonic rollercoaster ride check out “Old & Crazy,” the Target exclusive bonus track that teams Mars with Esperanza Spalding and adds a Django Reihnardt sample for a modern urban take on gypsy jazz. Mars’ “Jukebox” is indeed unorthodox and a bit of an aural blur, but that’s what makes it one of the year’s most enjoyable musical adventures.

Green Day

“Tre!”

(Reprise)

3 stars

And so ends Green Day’s ambitious trilogy — with frontman Billie Joe Armstrong declaring, with nearly shocking prescience, “Next stop is therapy.” “Tre!” has a few other references to the troubled state of mind that landed Armstrong in rehab since the September release of “Uno!” — check out “Sex, Drugs and Violence” especially — but the 12-track set’s real story is its diversity. Where “Uno!” and “Dos!” hearkened to Green Day’s power punk/garage rock roots, the trilogy’s final installment stretches things further with the soulful, horn-laden, Sam Cooke-reference opening track “Brutal Love” to the string-laden, album-closing piano ballad “The Forgotten” that also appears on the “Twilight Saga — Breaking Dawn Part 2” soundtrack. And the six-minute-plus “Dirty Rotten Bastards” is the kind of suite-like epic that Green Day perfected on “American Idiot and “21st Century Breakdown.” A reflective tone gives even the blazing punk tracks a mature emotional heft, making the achievement of three solid albums in as many months that much more impressive.
